I spent the entire second half on my feet in my living room. (This is the kind of event when the investment in a projection TV set is worth while.) The last couple of minutes were amazing with three-to-four Celtics collapsing on Kobe who swung the ball over to Gasol. As the saying goes, Pau got it done. What a gift to the Lakers from Barcelona via Memphis. The way LA was playing today, they looked like the champions. But there’s a long season ahead and then the real season - better known as the playoffs.

1. Webrider:Argggh, we’ll get you next time! Quite a game though, and probably a harbinger of the playoffs (championship series) again this year.
For some reason, my HDTV didn’t look as good as yours apparently did this game, Roger.

Dec 26, 2008 - 2:56 am 6. Promoguy:Does any NBA regular season game really count when 90 pct of the teams will end up in the playoffs. Like hockey, which I don’t get, basketball is a playoff deal which makes the regular season, quite frankly boring.
But then again, I think there is nothing prettier than a middle line backer blowing through the offensive line and SMASHING a quarterback.
